How To Create An Amazon AWS Windows Server EC2 Instance | For The Beginner
In this tutorial, I walk you through creating your first Amazon AWS Windows Server EC2 instance using a t2.micro (free-tier eligible) instance type.
During the EC2 instance creation, I explain:
1. All ‘Instance Details (the explanation is from my Linux EC2 Video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tu6OykN9fh8&t=168s
2. provide a ‘user data’ script that will automatically install IIS Web server, create a custom index.html file which will display the servers internal IP, external IP and DNS address: 3:42
3. Explanation and setup of the firewall rules: 8:14
4. creating a public/private key pair: 11:08
5. Using the generated key pair to decrypt the Windows Server Password: 17:20
6. and finally establishing an RDP session to the Windows Server: 18:31

Thanks a lot. Perfect tutorial for beginner. Clean and point to point description.
you talked about your website, I can't find the url link
Because I don't know what your website is I'm having trouble making the free account
Server Error 403 – Forbidden: Access is denied whenever I input Public IPv4 DNS.
Hope to get feedback from you.
Thanks for the video! I copied the script from your github but it didn't work and I could still get into remote desktop, what's the feature of powershell script on user data section?
Thank you brother
Is there any reason to choose a Linux server over a Microsoft server (or vice versa) in terms of pricing, functionality and speed?
Waiting for new advance level tutorials migration On primise to Cloud, more services oriented ones

I wonder how you made this training video where you show up on bottom of screen? What software did you use?
Thank you
Simple and easy to follow video… Thanks for efforts. Just a Q "How to create shared folder on EC2 instance so files can be transfer from local PC once RDP to it?" Appreciate your help.
Great tutorial up to a point where I cannot connect to the public ip from "My IP". My browser suggests that "This site cannot be reached" and also that he site is not secure. I have tried to access it via Chrome and MS Edge. I am able to RDP to the site just fine.
Could connect using MS Remote Desktop but not via browser – timed out.
I have followed the same steps ,but while adding inbound rules made 80 port open to Source "Anywhere". Still cannot access the web application deployed on the AWS instance and even ping command gives request timed out .
However status checks are passed and I can do RDP ,Only web server is not working .Any insights on this?
Good video thanks you for your help.
